Weight Loss Over 40 Plus

Friday, June 20, 2008

Hmm week 19 and 20: Sorry about the week off but a lot of things have happened. Went to las Vegas week 19 had a very good time until my car blew up. 300 hundred miles from home, thank God for a great son who had work all day, and after a call from me drove 300 miles with a car hauler to drag my sorry butt home 300 miles. I knew there was a reason for wanting a son hehehe. The only other problem with the Vegas trip was a lack of opportunity to workout and no place to do it. I did walk 2 1/2 miles to a restaurant for breakfast on Sunday mourning. After the car blew up I also walked 3 miles to the casino and waited for my son. So much for week 19.

Now week 20: My Granddaughter got married on Saturday, B-i-g party to follow, and Papa (me) was there. Had a great time and so did the wife. So much for what was happening, now back the the weight loss.

Week 19: Full Food, still drinking my 128 oz of water, and taking my True Essentials nutritional packs. I did manage to get my 6 days of total gym in, but not all of my Gazelle or Spin Bike.

Total Gym 6-8 minute workout (the routine is for 6 days with one day of rest)

No Spin Bike ( I have a bad left knee and hip that was killing from all the walking last week in Vegas)

Gazelle ( 6 days of the 30 minute workout, much easier on the knee and hip)

Tai Chi ( for flexibility and balance which you need has you get older)

Walking ( you know about the 5 1/2 miles in Vegas plus another 6)

weigh in: 251 I feel at a plateau now, I need to change something or wait for my body to adjust to full food ( aka more salt intake).

Come back next week when I break through the 90 pound mark. I am sorry about the delay in this week post. I only hope you start your own weight loss and workout program this week. It will be the best thing you every do for you.
